pom for timeout fix failing

[Stephen Lawrence Jr.]

I am trying to apply the extra/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeouts fix to my 
RedHat 7.3 machine. I have installed the latest kernel-source RPM 
(kernel-source-2.4.18-27.7.x), and I ran "./runme extra, told it the 
source was in /usr/src/linux-2.4, and selected "T" to test the patch. It 
says:

Testing patch extra/ip_conntrack-timeouts.patch...
Failed to patch copy of /usr/src/linux-2.4

Am I doing something wrong here?

Yes, you are trying to use patch-o-matic on a RH kernel. That isn't
tested and won't be supported. Many patches in patch-o-matic requires
that you apply all patches in pending and submitted (./runme pending and
apply all those patches).
This will almost certainly fail with a RH kernel. You are on your own.

Ok, so I downloaded 2.4.20 from kernel.org, installed the submitted and 
pending patches, then tried again and the same thing happened, the patch 
failed.

Is there any way to find out why it is failing?

Yes, the patch wasn't updated to match two new patches in submitted/
I've updated it so it should work now.

	While I haven't had to touch a RH system for a couple years now,
I had no problems installing a vanilla kernel from source on RH systems
in the past.  Grab the 2.4.x source from http://kernel.org and you
should be all set.
